In life, you could say I've made some bad decisions
I've had to cover up the truth with lies and improvisions
Then I came to a fork in the road of life
And tried to decide which way will suffice
Should I take my left or my right
Which way will take me to the light
I decide to take the left way
Hoping it will show me the light of day
I start my walk only to find
That I may have made the wrong decision in my mind
This road I've taken is so bleak
I don't think it'll bring me to the place I seek
I go to turn back, but change my mind
I decide to continue, see what I find
This road of dirt is dark and cold
So many thoughts and feelings begin to unfold
I can hear people yelling and crying
Deafening sounds, like someone's dying
Along the way I see broken dreams
And continue to hear the deadly screams
Many pieces from a shattered past
Lay near a broken heart from a relationship that didn't last
On one side I see empty beer cans and cigarette butts
Across the street I see people's shadow's going nuts
Further along I see blood and tears,
Hidden emotions and somebody's fears
An empty container of over-the-counter pills
A pill of lost hopes and wills
On the ground I see a man's defunct soul
Decaying where pain has taken it's tole
This isn't the road I wanted to pick
Everything I see is making me sick
I start to walk faster to try and get out
When suddenly from behind I hear someone shout
It is a little girl without a friend
She rips open her chest to reveal a heart no one can mend
I start walking at an even quicker pace
There's got to be a way out of this place
I think to myself as I look about
And promise that I'll change my ways if I can just get out
Finally I see the light at the end of this lane
I've finally escaped from the Boulevard of Life Pain
